európskemu

Európskemu is a Slovak inflected form of the adjective európsky, meaning European. It is the masculine singular dative form, used when the noun it modifies is masculine and in the dative case. This form appears in sentences describing indirect objects, beneficiaries, or after verbs and prepositions that govern the dative.

In Slovak, adjectives decline according to gender, number, and case. The form európskemu corresponds to masculine singular nouns in the dative case. It is typically found in phrases such as k európskemu parlamentu (to the European Parliament), where the noun parlamentu is in the dative.

Etymology and usage: európsky derives from Europe plus a common Slovak adjectival suffix, producing a meaning tied to Europe or Europe-wide. Európskemu is one of several case-inflected forms that allow the adjective to agree with its noun across grammatical contexts. Its appearance signals that the described entity is being referred to indirectly or as a recipient or beneficiary in a sentence.
